Ok so the bed's not a teenager, but my son almost is. I cannot believe he's going to be 13 this October. Well anyway on to the bed project. So I have been praying for a new bed for my son. Yes you read that right praying. And guess what GOD answered my prayers. I got a bed and the thrift store for half price at a whopping $50. Woo hoo for answered prayers. My in'laws ended up paying for it and new mattresses, paint, sheets. (you get the idea, right?) Ok so here is the bed when I got it home and into his room:

and some more pics of the rest of the room. I am planning on surprising him with a "new" room this summer while he's at camp. Hee hee I cannot wait!

okay so now to the newly painted bed

Whatcha think? Not bad huh! I am soooo very pleased with it! I used "Lagoon" by Valspar from Lowes. I got their paint and primer in one because the original color was a blueberry purplish color, YUCK. Anyhoo I love it (and so does my son, score one for the mom ;>!!!

Okay peeps, I have been obsessively desiring change in my house. We have lived here for 10 years and I have changes things up a bit over the years. Lots of painting yada yada yada. But as of late, SCARY! I am going to post pics this week but to tonight I am up to my elbows in Navy Blue paint. I will get pics up asap! Keep checking back. I think this is going to be the year of the House, lol!
